I don't want to have to finish the software project I started just to do the Fancy Mathematics that the project I want to start will require of me.

I may _have_ to finish the software project I started just to do the Fancy Mathetics, but I don't want that to be the prerequisite.

Sensitivity As A Service 

What's a reasonable per-hour rate charging people for sensitivity reads with a write-up of findings? I've just had three of them in the last hour and I want either my money or my time back. =x.x=

a lack of aftermarket wing prosthetics in a woefully human-centric medical community is only an obstacle to regaining your flight abilities if you let it be scalie.business/media/-mw5xSTk

Habari gani, brothers and sisters? Day four of Kwanzaa is all about Ujamaa, or Cooperative Economics. I like to think of it as Black Empowered Socialism. :)

advice wanted, programming 

Lottie and I want to make a game together, and we want to code it ourselves (rather than use something like unity)

What programming language should we use and why?

Inexplicable Monomyths

Writing 

And that's the first draft of Familiar Flesh done. 6234 words. Editing needs to happen, clearly, but the hardest part of the work is complete.

Well, no, they're all the hardest part. One of the hardest parts is done. The "getting it out of my head" part is done. The "making it look pretty" part will take work.

Hey folks, I'll be writing about Kwanzaa ALL WEEK on my blog. I want to introduce the holiday to folks who've only heard about it while also talking about why it's personally significant to me. :)

Ha-Ha-Only-Serious 

I want athletic gear for Omelas University.
School Mascot, Ol' Doe-Eyes, the Childe
School Slogan: For the Greater Good

... I've recapitulated Captain Eo. With sex. But not with Anjelica Huston's character. I think that's okay.

Autism, Bitching 

Is there a way to filter memes and shitposts without quitting the platform? I suspect I'm just not emotionally cut out to deal with that form of communication. I can't process it _as_ communication and some part of my brain shakes itself apart digging for meaning where either none exists or where the meaning is in the social commentary that surrounds the communication, not in the communication itself. It's exhausting and I like you all but you're driving me mad.

Too Clever By Half 

The artist had even offered a list of epithets for the Baron to admire in one corner of the frame: Liberality, Athleticism, Victory, Integrity, Charity.

"Lasich" was the Classic word for "weasel," one of the only creatures immune to the cockatrice’s touch.

“My compliments,” I offered evenly. “Do you feel it does you justice?”

“Best painting I’ve ever sat for, and I’ve had dozens,” the baron replied from the head of the table. “Sit; your pacing is making me tired.” #writing

Over the fireplace hung a canvas, grotesque in its lavish detail. A wounded cockatrice occupied much of the center bottom of the image, a single bolt through the poor creature's neck, her blood pooling on the grass below. Above, dominating the frame, stood Baron Decebel. He wore an improbably red hunting jacket and cradled a still-cocked crossbow with one thumb on the bolt and one foot perched on the fallen animal, his face turned towards the heavens. #writing
